At the elementary level, our goal is to give children the universe and help them find their place in it. Children in this age range have a strong drive to build their own intellect. Knowledge is imparted not from a set of textbooks or syllabi, but through children’s efforts to follow their intellectual interest in their own way and at their own pace. Through our vast, fascinating curriculum, with the help of our skilled elementary guides, we link children with their environment inside and outside the classroom. In this way, students conduct their own learning. They understand all subjects are integrated, not isolated, and they must flourish in English and math along with arts, sciences, geography and history to be a true “learner.”
Students learn about the origins of life, human communities and histories from the first day of school. They are introduced to the concepts and languages of the natural sciences, including botany, zoology, geology, geography and anthropology. The elementary guides will introduce and give lessons on multiple topics, but it is up to the children to research and study each subject, providing themselves and their community with a full and broad knowledge of each concept learned.
The students in this environment work in small groups, often challenging each other while reinforcing collaboration and communication skills. This teamwork strengthens each student’s academic learning and love of knowledge. Our Elementary Program produces joyful lifelong learners with a love of exploring the unknown and self-confidence built from personal experience to know they can accomplish almost anything.
